Law Publisher CC is dedicated to reporting on commercial law as determined by judges of the higher courts in South Africa. To do this, we publish a series of titles, all of which appear regularly. A full list of these titles can be found here. Our goal has always been to account for the law, not to apologize for it. What the judge said, whether he said it rationally and with valid reasons or not, whether or not it was said in accordance with precedent and the logic of the foundations of our legal system, we report it.
Although we summarize judgments and thus give them a semblance of rationality, we do not make our own judgments about them. We take them for what they are and present them in published form. Our world-class publishing and marketing expertise ensures maximum distribution channels for publications. The collection and publication of the most important decisions of a country`s courts is an essential element in the development of legal certainty and transparency. Therefore, the preservation and publication of court judgments is crucial. Simply put, and in the context of publication, copyright is the positive right of an author or publisher to exploit his or her creation in a certain way, and at the same time the negative right to prevent others from doing so. The law publisher set out to achieve its original goal by publishing Current Commercial Cases and Commercial Law Digest (later renamed Commercial Law Reports), both edited and written by attorney Mark Stranex. The first provides summaries of all judgments of commercial interest reported in South African legal reports. It is therefore intended to ensure full coverage of these judgments without giving the reader the task of having to read the full text of each judgment. The report is substantial, not cryptic, but rich in detail, and aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the issues in dispute between the parties and the means by which the law was used to resolve the dispute. A person without legal training should understand how the law works by reading this publication. We are committed to our vision of “strengthening the potential of the African continent by promoting the rule of law”.

A proud legacy of empowering generations of South Africa`s best legal minds: past, present and future Law Publisher CC was founded in 1992 with the aim of publishing materials intended to reveal judgments of higher courts in South Africa of interest to commercial and business lawyers. The driving force was then, and still is, the belief that law is not a donkey, but can be explained as a problem-solving activity that is consistent in itself and aims to resolve real-world disputes arising from the cutting off and pushing of commercial enterprises. Any judgment of the higher courts is considered an application of the law and should be explainable to the ordinary merchant who is entitled to an explanation of why these disputes are resolved.
Our job is to summarize a judgment clearly enough to explain the reasoning of the judge who rendered it and to explain it to the best of our ability. The reader can then decide whether the judge`s reasons are logical and reasonable, or whether he fails and makes the law look like a donkey. ASEP regularly works with ministries on how industry can help achieve national priorities and contribute to the formulation of relevant policies/legislation. While PASA interacts with all departments, the ones we work with more regularly are sports, arts and culture, basic education, higher education, commerce and industry.
